A sheet of studies for an equestrian monument: the sketch at lower left shows the monument as a three-arched structure, the central arch surmounted by an attic storey, but in the larger studies the sarcophagus sits within a relatively simple framework, either arched or square; captives are visible in the most heavily worked sketch, tethered to free-standing columns, with a detail at bottom left. In two studies the rearing horse is supported by a fallen foe, as in some of the earlier studies for the Sforza monument (RCIN 912358), and the study for the horse and rider alone shows Trivulzio apparently in contemporary armour.
